Default Changed Battery Now Gauges Don't Work

Hello Forum,

I just changed the battery on my 04 Electra Glide Classic FLHTCI and the bike started up fine and ran like normal but NONE of my dash gauges work now. The radio came on, all signals work, the odometer works, the dash icon lights work but the RPM, MPH, Oil pressure, battery volt none of those work. Any suggestions? Maybe a blown fuse? If so where do I check?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Check the ground cable to make sure it is tight. Sounds like a grounding issue.

Yup, sounds like that to me too. Probably one of the ground wires dropped out of sight when taking the battery in and out.

Well it wasn't the ground wire but it lead me back to my mistake. Before I changed the dead battery I checked two fuses next to the battery and one of them I didn't put back in tightly and that is what it was. Gauges working fine now. Thanks for the help.
